Arkham City’s Collector’s Edition Is Official, Here’s What It Looks Like
It seemed like it was only yesterday when details of Arkham City’s collector’s edition starting making their rounds about the interwebs, and today we’ve got official confirmation and a snazzy pic. Arkham City’s collector’s edition will indeed carry a special statue, art booklet, and early access to the game’s DLC, but that’s actually not everything. Check it out below.
As you can see, the Kotobukiya produced statue is none other than the Caped Crusader himself, in one of his many brooding hero poses, and the aforementioned DLC includes the Lounge Challenge Map and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns skin. The animated content is a bonus DC Universe animated original movie titled Batman: Gotham Knight, and the soundtrack includes several original songs. The collector’s edition will also bring with it four collectible cards. So, for $99.99, is this worth your hard-earned cash or will you just be getting the game so you can use the leftover funds on the bunch of other incredible games coming out in the coming months?
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
